The Start of Something Dimm

Thank you for visiting my blog.

This is the first of what hopes to be many, many postings over many, many years.

I call myself Alexander Dimm. Obviously, this is not my real name. There are not many personal details that I will be sharing in the weeks and months ahead.

Here is what I’m willing to share: I am male (Alexander is a male name. If I called myself Alex, you could have taken it either way).

I am young to middle aged (30s or 40s).

I have a wife and children (sorry, no clues).

I have pets (hmmmm…I may share more in other blogs).

I have a full time job (White collar, or sometimes gray if I’m really busy).

My parents are still alive (and well, thank goodness).

I am involved in local politics, but in a very minor way (I’m not the mayor).

As far as personal details, that’s about as far as I’ll go.

What will this blog be about then?

Considering that I hope to add something to this blog three or four days each week, there’s going to be a lot to discuss. As my pseudo-name indicates, I will be taking a “Dimm” view on a number of topics, from politics to baseball, podcasts to the high cost of living.

Unlike some blogs I’ve seen, I don’t view this as a journal, but a conversation. I hope that you choose to leave thoughtful comments that lend to opening a discussion and sharing opinions.

There are a few obvious ground rules regarding comments. I’m not selling a product so I ask that you don’t leave a commercial endorsement in the form of a comment.

Also, while I appreciate originality and someone’s ability to express themselves in unique ways, I ask that obscene language be limited. I’m a big boy and know what all the words mean. Surely you can get your point across without burning the hair from a sailor’s scalp.

Also, I would like for people to respect your privacy, so please avoid any personal details relating to your life as well. I don’t need names, email addresses, etc. Share your ideas. Bring your opinions. Help create a discussion. You never know, we might make this world a better place.

Wouldn’t that be funny?
